Unfortunately, no PXE BIOS option. This was my first laptop and it ran Win98 originally (yep, scary). It wasn't long before I realized I could run a BSD on it. Maybe it's time to realize I can just enjoy a previous great release: NetBSD 5.1. I have compiler tools on it, so still useful. Thanks - Joel
I have always copied the new binaries and the netbsd-INSTALL kernel to the new system. Then boot netbsd-INSTALL.gz, which uses a ram disk, and tell it to do an update. I usually also get a backup of my root partition in case the update fails badly.
